Managing Rapid Growth With Integrated HCM Technology
A rapidly growing organization must often devise new systems and strategies to operationalize and scale its success. Northgate González Markets faced this challenge as the organization expanded from 2,000 to 5,000 employees across 40 stores. For an organization with a focus on rapid expansion, a targeted and growing customer market, and a preference for developing leaders internally, having the right tools in place to speed both administrative and strategic talent tasks was critical. However, Northgate had historically done much of this work manually or through unsophisticated technology programs.

Creature Feature
Meet Screecher!
Screecher, appropriately named because she likes to screech, is a three-year-old hawk-headed parrot. Like most parrots, she can mimic noises. Her favorite words are, "Screecher-Reacher," a play on her name, and "Hello." Her favorite foods are strawberries and oranges, and she enjoys interacting with people instead of playing with toys. Her favorite game is hide-and-seek with staff and guests. So next time you visit the Aquarium, head over to the Amazon exhibit and play hide-and-seek with Screecher.
Hawk-headed parrots are small parrots found in South America. They are very territorial and raise their head feathers when they are excited or scared, because it makes them appear bigger. Unfortunately, hawk-headed parrots are endangered due to deforestation of their natural habitat and the extensive pet trade business. Some species are nearly extinct, with no more than a dozen of them in the wild. Extra measures must be taken to ensure these rare and beautiful parrots will be around for future generations to enjoy.

Despite the belief that lawyers are just money hungry sharks, they actually have some pretty regular down time activities just like you.
We here at trendwhore took the time to interview a few of the top lawyers around america to see what some of their favorite downtime activities are. So without further adieu here goes:
Among the many things that lawyers do, listening to music is one of the top responses.
According to criminal lawyers Chad Staples his favorite song is Justin Timerlakes Suit & Tie ( I know, i know stereotypical)
Coming in second is reading. It should be no surprise that lawyers do their share of reading but you may be a little surprised what they spend their time reading.
Kristina Amer's, divorce lawyers extraordinaire, favorite book of all time is actually 50 Shades of Grey…if you didn't expect that, neither did we. When asked, "Do lawyers actually carry around physical books, or do you use ereaders?" she replied with, "I personal just downloaded a 50 Shades of Grey PDF from www.zerobinding.com. I can slap it on my phone and read it anywhere."
What kind of things do you do in your free time? If you take the time to list them out I'm sure you will find you are not much different than lawyers yourself.
Pre-paid legal services can be a very attractive alternative to hiring a
lawyer for many people. You should consider the importance and relative
priority of these benefits in light of your own legal needs.
So what are the benefits going pre-paid compared to conventional hire of
Benefit Number 1: Cost-Effective
Pre-paid legal plans can take the sting out of hiring a lawyer. Lawyers'
fees are prohibitive for most people: you can run bills of thousands of
dollars and this is simply out of reach of most working and middle-class
With pre-paid plans, what you get charged is more in line with what you
pay for your health or home insurance. Plans start as low as $9 per month
and typically don't exceed the $30 mark.
Benefit Number 2: Simplicity
There is a number of very complicated set of fees lawyers charge:
contingency fees, flat fees, statutory fees and hourly rates. In the case
of contingency and statutory fees, you have to get into the intricate
details of how these fees are computed – say for a contingency fee how
much is the lawyer's commission? – and their regulatory nature – who
regulates the statutory fee and how do I know if these fees are in line
with regulatory guidelines?
The other two types of fees can be equally as complex. Increasingly,
attorneys choose to incorporate any overheads they incur, like secretarial
expenses, parking charges and travel fees into their flat and hourly fees.
They can also set a minimum number of billing units, like three tenths of
an hour (18 minutes), irrespective of how long it takes them to deal with
your problem.
This is just a sample rundown of what might influence the various fees
charged by lawyers, other factors and arrangements can apply too. Contrast
this with the simplicity in which pre-paid legal services are priced and
furnished. The process is simple and straightforward: you sign an agreement
to pay a fixed monthly fee and that's about it. If what you're looking for
is not covered, your plan provider will give you a prior notice of a
different billing so that you know exactly how much you will be charged.
Benefit Number 4: Pre-emptive Law
Pre-paid plans offer unlimited phone consultation and advice. This aspect
of the service can save you a lot of trouble, money and time in the
future. Most legal problems you are likely to face in your day-to-day life
can be solved if you take the necessary steps in line with the law. With
the right advice and consultation with your lawyer, you can detect legal
blunders before they occur and hence minimize the risk of litigation and

Bridge work near Lehigh Valley Zoo takes the slow roadColumn | Apr 11, 2013 | 7:13 PMQ: As a covered bridge enthusiast, I enjoy visiting covered bridges throughout Pennsylvania. After driving by Schlicher Covered Bridge in June [2011] I was surprised to see it closed, and by chance a few days later I read a Morning Call article indicating the bridge would soon be repaired. I returned in October to find nothing had been done. I read a recent article you wrote about Guth's Covered Bridge getting $500,00 for repairs, which is great, but what happened to Schlicher's Covered Bridge?

Shane McConkey died last week in a ski/BASE-jumping accident in the Italian Dolomites. He was filming with his long-time buddies at Matchstick Productions. He was 39 years old.
You can't say his death was unexpected, given all the crazy stuff McConkey had done in his life. Maybe we dreaded its inevitability without ever allowing ourselves to think the thought outright. Still, it comes as a punch to the gut to anyone who hangs it out on rock, or in the air, or in avalanche country.
McConkey's exit – in action, at the height of his powers – puts him in good company. There was Buddy Werner, dead at 28 in 1964 under a mountain of Swiss snow. Extreme pioneer Patrick Vallencant, 43, rappelling off a French cliff. Alex Lowe, snuffed at 37, ten years ago in Tibet. Doug Coombs, 49, looking to help a fallen friend, slipping, falling himself.
And there were certainly intimations that McConkey was using up his nine lives. Over the last ten years, he had suffered six season-ending injuries, including a dislocated hip, cartwheeling at speed, down a big Alaskan peak. He did an interview with Skiing magazine last fall in which he assumed his ski-movie alter ego, Saucerboy. "You can't kill Saucerboy," he said, equal parts jester and desperado. "I'm like Kenny in 'South Park.' I'm too damn tough."
It's amazing that Shane's dad, Jim McConkey, survived his own brazen youth. A lot of people think that Jim was more talented and did crazier stuff on skis than his son did. In 1948 when he was 22 he skied into a crevasse on the Columbia Ice Field and nearly died of his multiple fractures. He was a legend at Alta and Whistler in the 1960s – skiing "impossible" chutes, jumping over airplanes, jumping off anything – extreme before the term was coined. Squaw Valley Olympic gold medalist Ernst Hinterseer claimed that "McConk" was "the best all-around skier in the world" during that era.
Shane picked up his father's mantle in the 1990s, when snowboarding's skate-rat culture had made skiing on two sticks look moribund. He didn't do it alone, but he helped define a skiing Renaissance fueled on daring and irreverence. And innovation. He championed wide, beefy skis and hitherto unimagined big-mountain lines. He threw back flips off the Palisades at Squaw. He set the bar for a generation of insanely talented ski-film stars.
In the mid-1990s he convinced Volant to build him a reverse-camber, reverse-sidecut powder ski, a ski that owed more to water skiing than to anything in the mountain realm. The Spatula, he called it, was derided initially as a stunt. But now "rocker" skis are built by every major ski manufacturer and are generally regarded as brilliant tools for deep snow.
Restive on the ground, he took up BASE jumping. A parachute allowed him to ski down huge, aesthetic lines that had never been skied before – because they ended in impassable cliffs. McConkey would ski down them, drop his poles near the edge, and swan dive into space. Eventually, he'd throw his pilot chute, then paraglide to safety. Other skiers followed; McConkey was the imagineer.
He'd done about 700 successful ski/BASE jumps before last week. On his fatal leap, he was again trying something new. The plan was to jettison his skis mid-flight and sail down the 2,000-foot high cliff in his wingsuit. But, following his signature flips off the lip, the ski bindings didn't release as planned. McConkey struggled upside down to release the bindings manually. Twelve seconds into his fall, he got the skis off, but too late to fully deploy his chute. He died on impact with the snow.
McConkey leaves behind a wife and 3-year-old daughter, in Truckee, Calif. It breaks your heart to look at the pictures. But you have to think that families of extreme athletes have entered into some kind of understanding, some kind of pact with one another about the possible consequences. Alex Lowe was, like McConkey apparently, a loving father to his three sons. And yet he kept going back, taking risks in the big mountains. He just couldn't "shake it off," he wrote. "That's what I am."
McConkey was that way. He was asked in one video whether all the injuries were worth it. "Yes," he said without hesitation. "To keep doing what we do. Nothing better than sliding down snow, flying through the air."
After hearing the news, an online fan wrote: "It feels like Superman died."

Do NOT go to this restuarant! – I used to be a loyal customer and was extremely disappointed with how the management team treats its loyal customers. I left a pair of sunglasses at my table. I called, the manager said no glasses. Next time I went the server came up to me and told me she had my glasses and put them behind bar with bar with bartender. Of course they were gone. When I asked if the management would try to "make it right" with a loyal customer, I was called back with a lame excuse that the waiter is now saying she didn't remember who's glasses they were and the bartender said that someone came by to pick them up already. All lies and a completely different story from a few days before. I know I left my glasses, that's my fault, but they had them and told me they had them and one of the employees took them. It's obvious they do not value their customers AT ALL. Why give a neighborhood bar that does not value the neighborhood customers any business?
Perfect compromise – Comfortable the way I like it, good food my girl friend likes. Kind of a cross between a dive bar and an East Village hip joint
half off sushi!! – I LOVE coming to hi-life for half priced sushi on monday and tuesday. sure i have been here for a decent brunch, fajitas on saturdays and drinks here and there, but mondays at hi-life are my fav. with the nice weather lately, the patio has been packed and it can be hard to get a table outside with a bigger group. the service is good and the crowd--eclectic upper west side.
great costomer service – Hi-Life Bar & Grill is an awesome restaurant with specatular food. The staff was very understanding that we had a meeting with our friends, food came out quick and perfect with no sacarifice of quality. The decor was good and fabulous with upscale service to match. 5 stars all around.
excellent dinner – I must say the the grilled chicken and citrus salad is really good. Mashed potatoes and creamed spinach was excellent too. I had the pork chop and it was great. It's not a fancy place but it does have a good home cooking kind of feel to it. Service is excellent but parking can be a challenge. This is a must visit!
L.A. Scene – Reminds me of an L.A. scene. Hi Life is cool in that, while it's easy going and casual. You never know when you might see a celebrity. A few weeks ago my girlfriends and I (all aspiring actresses) sat near James Franco from Spiderman. In New York it seems the celebrities only go to the downtown place of the moment, while in L.A. celebrities pop-up everywhere. We go to Hi Life for the food and casual vibe, but it's always fun to see a celebrity on the Upper West Side.
I am hooked on Hi Life – I started coming to Hi Life with friends to take advantage of their daily special deals. I still come for the deals, but now I?m hooked on Hi Life?s excellent comfort food. They have great mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, hand cut fries and delicious pastas.
City's Classic – I love the city's classic, been there forever "joints", e.g. Pete's Tavern, Walkers, Old Town, Lenox Lounge, but Hi Life is my favorite. I've been frequenting Hi Life for over ten years and it has just grown on me. In my opinion there is simply not a more comfortable place to eat a steak and watch a ballgame, or meet friends for dinner. The decor is a mix of mahogany and leather upholstery, with a funky collection of antique treasures. And, consistently over the years this place has always had cute and interesting servers and bartenders that give an added dimension. In short, Hi Life is one of the city's classics.
Great Staple on the UWS – I recommend this place for anyone that has not tried it yet. They have good early bird specials which keeps us coming back often. I love their sushi (spicy tuna roll is my favorite) and great burgers and fries. They are right across the street from Fred's which is also not bad, but not as good as Hi-Life.
Great food, vibe and staff! – First and foremost, the staff was not only excellent but pretty darn hot as well!! We came in on a Monday which is Sushi special night and (in my party of 3) each had a couple different rolls (my favorites were the spicy tuna and the Hi-Life roll). I know there are a lot of "authentic" sushi places in NYC but this was some of the best sushi I've had in a long time, and the price was perfect.
The vibe of the place is 1950's lounge/Vegas style without being over the top. We sat in their indoor atrium (it's in the back/side of the restaurant) and had fun people-watching. You're surrounded by windows. One of the really cool things is that even though this isn't a sports bar, they did have the hockey game on above the bar (muted) so I could follow the game. Like my friend said, "were else can you eat awesome sushi and catch a live hockey/basketball/football game at the same time?"
Lastly, our waitress. She was on top of everything, I never had to do that annoying "look around" trying to find her. The beer was clean and crisp, the Martini's strong and tasty, and the food was served pretty quickly. Oh, and one more thing, our server was hot! One of the reasons I love eating out in New York is because of all the cute waitresses (eh, wait staff to be more PC), and Hi-Life was above par in this category!
So five stars for excellent food, cool ambiance, fast service and cute staff as well!

As Brent Seabrook carried the puck deep into the Red Wings' zone in overtime of Game 7 on Wednesday night, strangely no Red Wings converged.
"When I have that much room, I usually screw up or trip and fall,'' Seabrook said.
This time, Seabrook put a hockey city on his back.
Seabrook fired a wicked wrist shot between the faceoff circles 3 minutes, 35 seconds into the extra session that ricocheted off defenseman Niklas Kronwall's shin and past goalie Jimmy Howard for the winning goal in the Blackhawks' epic 2-1 victory.
"I don't even know if I saw it go in. I just heard the horn going and the boys jumping up,'' Seabrook said. "It was a pretty exhausting game, but I think I was more tired during the celebration, guys dragging me down and pulling my head down.''
Keeping his head up when coach Joel Quenneville benched him earlier in the series allowed Seabrook to be in position to save the season. Fittingly, the player who was forgotten played the hero's role for the team that was written off after Game 4. It provided the type of unlikely comeback other sports towns enjoy. This was Chicago's turn.
"It's not the way you want to win a series, but you do what you've got to do,'' Jonathan Toews said. "It just goes to show the character we have on top of the ability and potential this team has.''
Never has that potential looked more limitless than after overcoming a Red Wings team that prepared the Hawks well for their next two rounds.
You just sensed the Wings would ferociously attack a one-goal deficit in the third period the way the Hawks had done to them at Joe Louis Arena. You just knew these Original Six rivals would produce a magnificent Game 7 that deserved to be decided in overtime.
The first Hawks-Wings Game 7 in 48 years was so good, it was worth the wait.
It was tied at 1 when Niklas Hjalmarsson scored the apparent go-ahead goal with 1:49 left, but officials inexplicably waved off the goal because of matching penalties behind the play, ruining parties in living rooms and barrooms everywhere. A crowd of 22,103 fans who didn't see the replay broke into a rude chant that showed what they thought of the officiating.
"I didn't get any explanation,'' Quenneville said of the bad call.
The reaction was much different after the Hawks' long-awaited first goal.
In a sequence worthy of a highlight tape or an instructional video, the Hawks took the lead when center Michael Handzus passed the puck to Marian Hossa to begin a 3-on-1 for the ages. Hossa patiently waited to hit a racing Patrick Sharp. Sharp did the rest, elevating the shot past Howard at the 1:08 mark of the second period.
"That was a fun goal to score,'' Sharp said.
Sharp's movie-star smile to celebrate the score never has made more Chicagoans go gaga. The delirium lasted for nearly a period.
Just 26 seconds into the third, Henrik Zetterberg turned a Hawks mistake into the equalizer. Veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya, reprising the Game 7 role of Chris Campoli in 2011, made a poor decision that allowed Wings winger Daniel Cleary to beat him to the puck. Cleary advanced it to Gustav Nyquist, who found Zetterberg in a perfect spot to freeze Hawks goalie Corey Crawford.
Suddenly, the air was sucked out of a building that was full of Chicago celebrities and athletes. But the confidence wasn't.
When the Hawks trailed the series 3-1, momentum and history were not on their side. But Toews was.
He never let the Hawks doubt themselves no matter how much everybody else in the city swore the hockey sky was falling. For a guy known for his seriousness, Toews projected a relaxed sense of calm. A looser Hawks team responded for three games as if it had nothing to lose.
Deep down, Quenneville knew better. Ignore everything he said; he knew the potential fallout of winning the Presidents' Trophy and exiting in the second round against the seventh seed. His actions spoke louder than any of his words.
Before the first of three elimination games, Quenneville reunited defensemen Duncan Keith and Seabrook, whose time he limited. Of more significance, he reassembled the Desperation Line of Toews, Sharp and Patrick Kane. The tinkering worked.
"We had to find ourselves again,'' Seabrook said.
Quenneville reintroduced them. Coach Q got outcoached by Mike Babcock in the first four games. The same wasn't true in the final three. He put his team where it should be: in position to keep playing.
"It's too early to go home,'' Toews said. "We want to play hockey another month.''
After Wednesday night, nobody expects anything less.

I was also wondering why the last report said that the break even on GM was $50 and now they say $95. Almost makes you think that the government doesn't know what they're doing, doesn't it? Steve

Hate to give you the bad news but you do pay a tax on a tax. After the fed excise tax and Michigans 19 cents a gallon is added you pay 6% sales tax.

dotTrace Features
dotTrace is shipped as two separate products for performance and memory profiling: dotTrace 5 Performance and dotTrace 3.5 Memory.
- Performance profiling features in dotTrace 5 Performance
- Memory profiling features in dotTrace 3.5 Memory
Performance Profiling
Top-class technology support
dotTrace Performance helps you locate performance bottlenecks in a variety of .NET applications, including those based on .NET Framework 1.x to 4.5, .NET Compact Framework 3.5, and Silverlight 4.
Multiple types of applications that dotTrace Performance is able to profile include standalone desktop applications, web applications running under IIS, IIS Express, or ASP.NET development server, Windows services, WCF services, Windows Mobile applications, and unit tests.
On-demand profiling
You can take a snapshot of application performance anytime during its execution. dotTrace Performance can be attached to a running application for profiling, and detached as soon as profiling information is captured.
This minimizes overhead imposed by running an application under the profiler. More importantly, it enables investigating performance issues in production environments where you just can't afford to restart an application every time you need to profile it.
Versatile profiling modes
Depending on your needs, you can choose between several modes of performance profiling.
Sampling profiling is the fastest profiling method, but at the expense of lower accuracy. It is extremely useful for quickly getting a general idea of your application's performance, and profiling for extensive periods of time.
Tracing profiling is a very accurate way of profiling based on CLR notifications on entering and leaving functions. It helps you learn precise timing information and the number of function calls.
Line-by-line profiling collects timing information per statement, letting you collect the most detailed information about functions that perform significant algorithmic work. Use this method wisely though as it imposes the greatest overhead on the application that is being profiled.
Integration with Visual Studio
You can launch profiling of your applications right from Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013.
If your solution is opened in Visual Studio during your profiling session, you can instantly navigate from dotTrace code preview area to the corresponding code file in Visual Studio.
Profiling unit tests
If you have ReSharper installed in Visual Studio, you can easily start profiling unit tests from the code editor or ReSharper's unit test runner.
Even if you don't have ReSharper installed, you can still profile a native unit test runner provided by NUnit, MSTest, or xUnit.
Local or remote profiling
Most of the time, you're profiling local applications. However, what if you're faced with a lagging application on a remote web server?
No worries: dotTrace Performance Professional Edition can connect to a remote machine to profile a standalone or web application, or a Windows service. You don't even have to install dotTrace there — just copy a couple of files.
Server-scale snapshot support
dotTrace Performance is able to profile huge applications and get snapshots of up to several hundred gigabytes in size while still working at acceptable speed. That means, you can use dotTrace Performance to profile complex desktop and server applications.
Convenient data representation
A number of informative views (Call Tree, Hot Spots, Threads Tree and more) allow insightful examination of profiling results. The importance of each function call is represented with descriptive icons, along with precise execution times and other relevant information. You can open functions in individual tabs, easily navigate views with keyboard shortcuts, and focus on relevant calls.
Annotating snapshots
During performance analysis, you may want to leave a comment about a function and its behavior. dotTrace Performance provides textual annotations for functions that are saved with the snapshot and can be reviewed later.
Search and navigation
You can quickly locate functions and navigate to their calls. When searching for a function, you can type in its abbreviated name using CamelHumps, just like you do in ReSharper.
You can highlight all function occurrences in the current view and then navigate between them with a simple press of a key.
Code preview options
dotTrace Performance provides a code preview area where you can see source code or decompiled code for the currently highlighted function call.
Source code can be reconstructed from local PDB files or via symbol servers: for example, by connecting the profiler to Microsoft Reference Source Server, you can preview the source code of .NET Framework when you analyze the behaviour of library code in your snapshot. You can also choose to show preview of IL code instead of source code.
If source code is not available, dotTrace Performance can still decompile function code for your quick review.
Estimation of performance gains
Sometimes, after hours of optimizing a time-consuming function, developers are forced to start profiling from scratch to see if their optimization actually worked.
This is not a problem anymore. dotTrace Performance can recalculate all function timings in a snapshot instantly, based on a time adjustment that you set — without reprofiling your application. It's like asking the profiler: "what if I optimize this function by 40%?" Just specify the new time for a function or for all functions in a particular class. Time values for the entire snapshots will be recalculated.
Comparing snapshots
dotTrace Performance is able to compare any two performance snapshots of the same application. It generates a comparison snapshot which shows the difference in the number of calls and times consumed by each function. Comparison snapshots can be viewed and analyzed the same way as regular performance snapshots.
Profiling SDK
dotTrace Performance provides Profiling SDK for enabling custom profiling scenarios in your applications. SDK allows an application to profile itself and gather performance metrics for future analysis.
Quick function info
You can look up function statistics from different views that dotTrace Performance provides. The lookup window provides a summary of function information with, such as number of calls, and time taken by calls.
Filtering and formatting
dotTrace Performance lets you hide irrelevant functions from a snapshot and highlight important ones. Filter out system calls and other non-essential functions with a combination of different filters. To emphasize important functions or classes of functions, use custom formatting rules.
Folding calls
In addition to filtering and formatting, dotTrace Performance provides a few more options to focus on the most relevant profiling results. For example, you can:
- Hide functions that take 0% of root time
You can hide functions that only call other functions but don't do any calculation on their own.
- Fold filtered calls
Chains of filtered calls can be set to be folded by default or folded/unfolded manually.
- Fold recursive calls
Recursive call chains can be folded to display the aggregate timings and call counts of all functions called recursively.
Memory Profiling
Any .NET Framework version
With dotTrace Memory, you can quickly profile the memory usage of your applications based on .NET Framework up to version 3.5. Profiling results are presented in the form of memory snapshots, allowing thorough analysis of memory issues.
Memory profiling modes
To check what objects are currently loaded in memory (but shouldn't be), you can dump memory at any time during profiling.
To view the difference between two application memory states, you can mark the start and the end of a time interval, then capture a difference snapshot which shows how much memory was allocated and released during the marked time interval. The view can be filtered to show only live, new, or dead objects, or the difference between new and dead objects.
Convenient data representation
Each memory snapshot holds a wealth of data on all objects allocated in memory, from the roots to every single object allocated or deleted at any time during your profiling session.
Several views are available to help you examine and analyze memory snapshots, including Class list, Namespace tree, Outgoing references, Shortest root path, and Allocation tree. You can also focus on any subsystem of your application by opening it in a separate tab.
Merging connected objects
When you are navigating though the graph of objects in memory, some dependencies are difficult to see at a glance. dotTrace Memory offers an easy way to merge (group) strongly-connected objects together, so that you can see which objects and/or groups any particular node is holding.
Find objects by class
To help you locate the presence of particular class of objects in memory, dotTrace provides the rapid Find objects by class (Ctrl+N) search feature. The use of wildcards and CamelCase abbreviations is supported for faster search results.
Finalized objects
dotTrace Memory lets you see finalized objects — that is, objects deleted by the finalizer. You can examine them to find that some were not properly disposed of in the code of your application, which is a potential memory leak.

An unexpected meeting at a station

Crusader Softball Team Announces Fall Schedule
Monday, August 27, 2007
Head coach Randy Schneider announced today that the Valparaiso softball team will be playing eight games, including two games at the Valparaiso University Softball Field, during the fall of 2007.
The Crusaders will kick off the fall slate at the Chicagoland Classic in Orland Park, Ill. on September 14 and 15. On the 14th, Valpo will face Lewis at 5 p.m. and Indiana at 7 p.m. The next day, the Brown and Gold will take on Bradley at 4 p.m. before closing out play against Kankakee C.C. at 6 p.m.
Two weekends later on September 29, Valpo will travel to Fort Wayne to play two games at IPFW. The first game, to be played at 10 a.m. CDT, will be against Bethel. The Crusaders will then face the host Mastodons at noon CDT.
Valpo will close out the 2007 fall campaign at the Valparaiso University Softball Field with a doubleheader on October 6 against Saint Francis (Ind.). The doubleheader has been designated as Parents Weekend for the Crusader team.
Valparaiso returns 15 letterwinners in 2007 from a squad that went 27-19 last season, tying a school record for victories in a single season.

Repair Advices of AC
1-Identifying Air Conditioning Repairs in Houston, TX
2-More Troubleshooting with Houston Air Conditioning
Along with the beginning of hot weather, your air conditioning unit may suffer from tropical storm season where high winds can blow extraneous debris around and into your air condensing unit. When a tropical storm blows through the Gulf, it's a good idea to inspect your home's exterior, especially your roof, siding, yard, and your air conditioning unit. If something impedes the airflow of your air condensing unit, your air conditioning can go out. Catch the problem early, and you may be able to simply remove any impediments. Let it go, and you can be in for bigger problems.
3-The Cost of Houston Air Conditioning Repair
With the nature of the repair, so goes the cost. The simplest problems can be dealt with for $25 to $100 which may include little more than the fee for your Houston air conditioning contractor to come to your home and identify and fix the problem. While you may not be thrilled to discover all you needed was to replace a screw or filter, at least you won't have to pay several hundred dollars to a grand to replace a major component of your system

Written by Anton Zuiker since July 2000
Why mistersugar? Why a pig?
After nearly 10 years hosting my various websites with Textdrive, it's time for me to move to a new web host — Textdrive will cease operations on March 14, 2014.
I'm hurrying to transfer my files to my new host. Please be patient if there's any down time during this transfer.
UPDATE: I have successfully moved the Coconut Wireless to my new host.
For a decade, I worked passionately to build a conference, a community and an organization called ScienceOnline. This was in partnership with Bora Zivkovic, a partnership that became a friendship. Last fall, I was blindsided by the revelations of his behavior toward women. In October, November and December, I offered Bora my ear, my help and my compassion, in the hopes that he would make amends and changes. In writing my Jan. 1 blog essay, Roots and Bitters, I was attempting to juggle that compassion with my bitterness for how Bora treated women, how he had treated the community — including Karyn and me — and how our partnership was being pulled apart.
Posting my essay was wrong for many reasons, most especially because I have come to a very different understanding of sexual harassment, professional responsibility and Bora's actions, which I do believe were wrong. I am sorry for posting my essay, but grateful for the lessons that I've learned since.
I deeply regret that my blog post, published without the knowledge of my fellow ScienceOnline board members, shook their trust in me. Scott Rosenberg, Meg Lowman and Mark Benerofe stepped up to assist ScienceOnline at a very difficult time, putting their reputations on the line in a show of support for the community and mission of ScienceOnline.
I wanted to remove the post from my blog in January, but understood that anything I did or said would only distract everyone from the planning of the ScienceOnline Together 2014 conference. The board requested that I keep the post online, so that production of the conference and the interactions of the attendees who had committed their valuable dollars and time were the focus — and not Bora. (Bora had no role or part in ScienceOnline or the planning of the conference after October 16, and from January 1 on, I severely limited my interactions with him; I continue to distance myself from him as I work through my bitterness and anger.) We needed to keep our focus so that ScienceOnline could survive in 2014 and move forward beyond that. I am sorry if this silence further confused you.
Under the direction of executive director Karyn Traphagen and with the guidance and assistance from board members Mark and Scott and Meg, we acted promptly to clarify the goals of the conference (especially that Bora would not be in attendance), review the community's responses, seek third-party advice, strengthen the ScienceOnline code of conduct and harassment policies, and put in place focused programming on women in science at the start of the conference. We also added the opportunity for attendee-selected topic-driven conversations at the 90-minute Saturday lunch break. We knew that this was only a beginning.
In addition to the serious human issues facing this community, the organization was now at financial risk. Compounding the normal stress of organizing a major event, the timing of the revelations in October happened just after we completed major contractual commitments but conference registration process and sponsor relations were still being finalized. We had intense worries about the financial viability of the organization. My January post, I fully admit, set us back. The stress was palpable, and required us to have a laser focus on making sure the conference was a success.
Thankfully, hundreds of individuals came together last week to enjoy the conference, and confirmed that there's important work yet to be done to advance the mission of ScienceOnline — to cultivate the ways we (organization AND community) conduct, share and communicate science on the Web. As in each of the past seven years, ScienceOnline Together 2014 was a success because of the many attendees, longstanding sponsors and new supporters, speakers, discussion moderators and volunteers who committed their time, resources, experiences, expertise, talents and willingness to learn. I am grateful to all who helped to make ScienceOnline Together 2014 a success.
Karyn's efforts were herculean. I want to thank her for her support as a co-founder, a board member and a friend. Her wisdom and leadership skills, combined with everyone who participated and collaborated at the conference, give me optimism for what ScienceOnline can accomplish in the decade to come.
And now it is time for me to remove Roots and Bitters, because I can no longer stand behind those words.
Furthermore, I know this: I am burned out, and I need a break. The stress of the last six months has made it painfully clear that it's time for me to step back. This includes taking a social media sabbatical, and focusing more intently on my family, my health and my job.
Several months ago, I concluded that it is time for me to make room for others to lead the organization. Prior to the conference, I informed the board of my plan to step away from ScienceOnline at the end of this month. Effective March 28, 2014, I will be resigning my position as chairman of the ScienceOnline Board of Directors, and transitioning to a new (non-voting) role — details still to be worked out — that will allow me to stay involved in an advisory role, and as a founder and champion of the ScienceOnline story.
When I look back on the history of ScienceOnline, I am immensely proud. At the outset, I wanted to believe that individuals who connected online could come together for meaningful face-to-face conversations, and that our interactions about science would further strengthen online connections, civility, conversations and collaborations. And we have done that. Nurturing a community and building ScienceOnline over the last decade has been hard work, but I am glad to have dedicated these years to ScienceOnline.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive in pushing ScienceOnline forward and helping us in this difficult year. I hope you will continue to do that as ScienceOnline goes on the road — to southern California this summer with ScienceOnline Brain, and then to Atlanta next February for ScienceOnline Together 2015 — and on into the future.
I'll be off the social web for awhile. If you wish to reach me sooner, please send a message to email@example.com.
This post has been retracted. Please read A retraction, stepping back, and looking forward for an update. — Anton 3/5/2014
I want to write and record a song. I don't know how to write songs, but I want to learn. I like to sing, and my children sing and dance all the time around the house. We'll have to find a musician to work with us — maybe my Uncle John, the bluegrass fan, or David Kroll, who recorded Minister of Ether. Or maybe there's a class or a workshop I can attend. I'm starting to take notes and outline ideas for a song. Stay tuned.
Met a friend yesterday, over at his home. First time I'd been there. I went with Erin and the children, and spent a lovely morning with my friend and his wife and children. Didn't want the morning to end.
My friend and his wife recommended the new Ben Stiller movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. They suggested we see it on the huge Extreme Digital screen at the Cinemark at Valley View. So we went today with the kids and cousins and my father-in-law. I enjoyed the film and its homage to film photography and magazines and imagination and adventures and making a moment last. I like Stiller's humor, and I loved the huge screen.
At breakfast with another friend this morning, a discussion about the Cedar Point Chaussee, a causeway that goes out to the roller coaster-heavy amusement park an hour west of Cleveland. We wondered about the word chaussee, but of course Wikipedia has the answer
… an historic term used in German-speaking countries for early, metalled, rural highways, designed by road engineers, as opposed to the hitherto, traditional, unpaved country roads.
Meanwhile, I've spent the past week trying to locate another Cleveland friend, but I can't find him, and I'm getting worried. I've listened to his answering-machine message a dozen times. Hope he returns soon and allays my fears.
Another friend is back home in North Carolina. I've been working on a long post about our friendship for more than a month now, and I rewrote it yet again today, hoping I can find the right message and tone and timing to share my observations.
UPDATE: Found my friend. He's alive.
This week, I mentioned using Medium, and noted the nice way that writers, editors and readers can add comments to each paragraph, instead of comments at the bottom of a post.
I've encountered footnotes in other ways this week.
The jQuery plugin Bigfoot is a new solution for inline footnotes (inspired by the way Marco Arment programmed popover notes for Instapaper and The Magazine).
I was reminded of a class I took in college, on Latin American dictators in literature. (I mentioned the class in this previous post about One Hundred Years of Solitude). One of the books on the reading list was I, the Supreme, by Augusto Roa Bastos. It was a novel, but used extensive footnotes to tell another perspective to the fictional story. I went looking for my copy of the book, but I think I actually got rid of it this summer.
The book I'm reading now, The Telling Room – A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese by Michael Paterniti, is nonfiction. Paterniti uses footnotes to add additional details and commentary to his story/travelogue/profile/food-writing. The other night, I came upon page 180, where a footnote begins, then spawns eight more footnotes within, spanning the bottoms of three pages. I think Paterniti was having a laugh on his readers, but we get the joke, because it fits his tale of a Spanish storyteller supreme.
I would endow ScienceOnline so that the organization would continue — far into the future — to gather and support all those doing, sharing and promoting science on the Web. (Until then, your donations are most appreciated. Please give $20.14 today – start here and click the Donate button.)
I would fund the BlogTogether Community Service Awards, and give them every year, celebrating those individuals and groups using blogs and social media to advocate for honesty, integrity, fairness and justice, and who make our communities (online and in the world) better places to live and interact.
I would help Jeff and The Monti, and my colleagues at Duke Medicine, make Voices of Medicine a national program that gives patients, their families and their medical caregivers ways to share stories of life, healing, loss and tenderness.
I would invite you all to The Long Table for dinner and slivovitz and long, leisurely conversation.
And I would take care of mom and dad and my brothers, and my wife and my children and my friends.
And I would share the rest with those who are hungry or lonely or homeless or in need.
In fact, I'd probably end up with just this dollar coin in my pocket, but I'd be satisfied.
I'm working on a very long essay now.
My essay started as a Fargo outline of ideas (after a page of scribbles in a ScienceOnline-branded Field Notes notebook).
Then I used iA writer to expand those ideas into a first draft.
Then I copied that first draft into Draft, and edited and rewrote a couple more versions.
Then I copied the essay into Medium. Medium has a new update, with some new formatting options.
There's been a lot of discussion lately about what purpose Medium is meant to serve, for users and its investors. Read two: Anil Dash and Noah Nelson.
I previously posted two essays to Medium, about dengue fever and Lucky the Cow. But, I've kept my distance from Medium, for one reason I won't go into, and for another reason: I want to own and control my own content, and so I keep most of my blogging here at mistersugar.com.
But I was tempted by the full-width image placement, and using the updated Medium has actually been kind of fun. It's easy to format my writing with photos and pullquotes and section heads. This reminds me of being a high school editor of the literary journal New Pennies, and learning to cut and paste galley pages.
It also reminds me of learning to use Pagemaker on Macintosh computers in the back-room computer lab of the Carroll News, my college newspaper. I'd be there late at night, joined by a young English professor named Mark Winegardner, who used the Macs to design posters to promote the writers he was bringing to campus — Tim O'Brien, Robert Stone and John Edgar Widemann, among others — while I designed pages of the newspaper or my latest Zuiker Chronicles (Anton Edition) newsletter to send to family and friends. It also reminds me of learning HTML to create Zuiker Chronicles Online and the Coconut Wireless.
All of these experiences, and tools, have helped make writing easier and design fun. Yeah, I know professional designers do it better, and that in Medium we're not really designing, since the company has structured it to their design styles. But even these limited tools for text formatting and image layout give enough options to make an author feel in control of the product. Oh, and the ability to place comments alongside paragraphs, and to invite friends and colleagues to review and offer editorial advice before an essay is public, are also very nice.
I hope to have this new essay in Medium ready to be public in a few days.
I'm also putting the essay into a self-hosted Ghost blog to see how that new blogging tool compares.
I've been trying lots of online writing tools this year. See previous posts here and here.
I've just read that the makers of iA Writer have a new, more powerful writing-and-editing tool available. It's called Writer Pro. I'll buy it in the morning (not available for U.S. purchase until midnight) and try it on another set of ideas that I've outlined in Fargo.
btw, Om Malik's reflections on how blogging has changed over the 12 years he's been doing is quite insightful.
I had the honor and privilege of participating in a social media panel discussion — Academics and Unseen Publics: Approaches to Putting Yourself and Your Work Online — at Duke University earlier this month.
As the room filled and people ate their free lunch, I chatted with my longtime blogger-friends Cara Rousseau, Jeff Cohen and Jean Ferguson, and briefly glanced at the monitor in the side room to see that the World Cup 2014 draw was taking place. (I learned later that the U.S.A. drew the Group of Death. Go Netherlands!)
When it was time to start, and since I was seated at the end of the table, I got to speak first, introducing myself and sharing a few minutes of my online story. But the best part was listening to the other panelists: Gary Bennett, Kieran Healey, Caitlin Margaret Kelly, Robin Kirk, Ava Lowrey and moderator Paolo Mangiafico. Each has been online for a long time, and each has used blogs and images and social media tools to do good: Kelly featured photos of women living with HIV, Lowrey as a 15-year-old in Alabama created the Peace Takes Courage website for her 120+ videos about the war in Iraq, Healy found Paul Revere, Kirk advocates for human rights, Bennett explores and expands our understanding of obesity, and Mangiafico encourages open-access publishing. Listening to their stories and experiences was humbling.
As Paolo and others in the room asked their questions, and we panelists answered with more reflections, our comments kept touching on issues of identity and online persona, and of juggling professional, academic and personal interests. I had been taking notes throughout the discussion, and I started to jot an outline of something to say about online codes of conduct (yes, as usual, I was going to mention the points in my 2006 essay, When blogging, face the conversation.) But then I found myself thinking — Who do I want to be? and How do I want to be? — and I realized that, from my earliest days blogging, my approach to those two questions has been the heartbeat of my online activities. So I mentioned that to the room, trying to explain that I've consistently wanted to represent the fullness of my self and interests and experiences (the Who), and that it is the second question (the How) that is the one I most focus on, because I want all my words and actions, online or off, to make me a person of honesty, integrity, fairness and justice. This goal, I said, is reflected in my version of the golden rule: I want to blog about others as I would like others to blog about me.
(On a long phone call the other night, a colleague and I got to talking about a single word that, to me, is so hard to define but that beautifully describes a life lived in honesty and integrity and fairness and justice: grace.)
(My focus on honesty and integrity and fairness and justice predates my online activity, because those values have been the foundational values of my entire existence, instilled in me by my parents and grandparents, my pastors and coaches, my friends and my spouse. And these values, and a life of grace, are what I hope I'm teaching my own children.)
After I shared my thoughts, I sat back and continued listening to my co-panelists. Still, part of me kept processing the idea of integrity through words and actions. (Nelson Mandela, who died at age 95 the day before, was on a lot of our minds.) Still further, a part of me for the last couple of months has been grappling with the question of how silence and inaction might undermine integrity, because, as I explained in my spoken This I Believe essay, my online voice has been shaken by the travails of my friend Bora and an ensuing discussion about the trials of women in science — and, really, women in general — who are not treated with honesty or integrity or fairness or justice.
To be honest, I want my actions — including and especially my interactions with women, minorities, those in need or persons who get missed — to speak louder than any words I might utter or write. Not that I don't know the power of words. When I was in high school, twin cousins of mine, who were a year ahead of me and explosive wrestlers, joked that I might not be as physical and fearsome as they were, but I did have the ability to "hit 'em with a verb." Since before high school, though, I've strived be a pacifist, in word and deed. As I've written before (in my essay about wanting to be a priest and a father), I wanted to use my voice to teach and tell stories. When Erin and I got married, the gospel reading at our wedding mass was Matthew 25:31-46 ("I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat…I was a stranger and you invited me in…"). Words to live by. But the Christian gospels are also filled with examples of doubt. Naturally, I ask myself, often, Am I doing enough?
Anyway, a woman in the room had asked about strategies for dealing with online comments and abuse, and Ava Lowrey was telling about the sexist comments and death threats she got as a teenage blogger, and I was writing at the top of my notes: "women online, society – injustice – must fight this." Then, Kieran Healy was adding that a strategy of thick skin and ignoring the trolls can work for some, but for others dealing with hostile online commentary can have a real personal cost. I recognized the anodyne life I've lived online, yet I also understood immediately and intuitively that Kieran and Ava and the other panelists were highlighting (for me) a challenge to act on the opportunities to stand up, speak out and make way for others.
And at that point, I realized that what I had told the room at the very beginning — that what I do and say online is intended to get people having face-to-face conversations that build stronger and more peaceful communities — is a way of being that I must continue. And through this, and the people I meet, I shall strive to find the words to advocate for justice and fairness, and the actions that help others to find grace that makes beauty out of ugly things.
At one point during this panel, Robin Kirk mentioned that she goes offline each Friday evening and Saturday for an internet sabbath. Last month, I'd urged something similar, at least for the day after Thanksgiving. On that day — the National Day of Listening — I went to the cafe with my father so that I could listen to him tell me more about his life and the lessons he's learned. The next day, he and Dot (they were married soon after they visited me and Erin in Vanuatu) watched our children so Erin and I could go across the Triangle for a night away at the luxurious Umstead Hotel and Spa. Erin challenged me to unplug, and I must say, being offline — and dripping in the steam room — was very nice. An internet sabbath seems like a very good ritual.
At work, I've (finally) completed an annual report publication for the Duke Department of Medicine. The report features numerous examples of collaboration and scientific partnerships that drive much of the Department's success, and yet only scratches the surface of daily activities there.
I feel so lucky to work at Duke, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work as communications director for the Department of Medicine, serving Dr. Mary Klotman and the 1250 other physicians, researchers, medical residents and fellows who care for patients and explore and extend biomedical science.
I thanked Dr. Klotman for my job at the start of my May 2013 Voices of Medicine story, about malaria and acute dystonic reactions and reading all of the fine print of the medication insert. Listen below.

Summary of The Authentic Gospel of Jesus Summary of The Authentic Gospel of Jesus Reviews for The Authentic Gospel of Jesus An Excerpt from The Authentic Gospel of Jesus
An illuminating look at the true teachings of Jesusfrom "the greatest Jesus scholar of his generation" (Sunday Telegraph)
In his new book, acclaimed religious scholar Geza Vermes subjects all the sayings of Jesus to brilliantly informed scrutiny. Profoundly aware of the limits of our knowledge but immersed in what we do haveboth the official gospels and associated Jewish and early Christian textsVermes sieves through every quote ascribed to Jesus to let the reader get as close as possible to the charismatic Jewish healer and moralist who changed the world. The result is a book that creates a revolutionary and unexpected picture of Jesusscraping aside the accretions of centuries to approach as close as we can hope to his true teaching.Wonderfully accessible and open-minded... This book will demand that Christians rethink their faith. (The Sunday Times, London)
With all the weight of a lifetime of scholarship, Vermes places the recorded words in their Jewish, first-century context. (Independent on Sunday)

Along with donations of $1,000 to both the First Tee program of Northern Nevada as well as Moms on the Run, the RHWGC also contributed $1,000 to the Cougar golf programs, with each receiving $500.
"When we started making money from our member-guest tournament, we decided back then to donate it back into the community," RHWGC Captain Barbara Hartmann said. "One of the reasons that we keyed in on Spanish Springs High golf is because obviously we want to promote golf and as we all know, money for schools is really tight.
"When we spoke with coaches, they had indicated that because they have so few students on the teams, they get very little financial support, so it all falls on the parents. We all enjoy the sport and we all like the young kids coming up learning the sport."
The donation was appreciated by Spanish Springs.
"The Red Hawk Women's Club has been very generous to the golf programs at SSHS over the last few years," said Nick Wirshing, coach of the Spanish Springs boys golf team. "In the three years since I've been the golf coach, the Women's Club has given over $2,000 to the boys and girls golf programs. The guys and girls golfers, and the school as a whole, really appreciate all that the Women's Club has done and continues to do for us over the years. The efforts of the ladies at Red Hawk ease the financial burden that we put on the parents of our golfers each year. Without donations like this, things would be much more difficult for the coaches, players, and parents of the SSHS golf programs."

Westbury >Food & Dining > The Cheesecake Factory
1504 Old Country Rd, Westbury, NY | Directions 1159040.746444 -73.595482
M-Th 11:30-11, F-Sa 11:30-12:30, Su 10-11
Neighborhoods: Long Island, East Atlantic Beach
Decadent cheesecakes and classic American cuisine makes this a popular chain. – In Short
Faux-rustic finishes and colorful light fixtures abound at this almost always crowded chain. The thick-as-a-book menu features Americanized versions of worldly cuisines--Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, Thai--but succeeds best with American classics. Burgers are a good choice, especially the ""Roadside Sliders,"" mini burgers served as appetizers. The myriad cheesecakes are over-the-top in concept and decadence. You'll leave full, with leftovers.
The Best!!! – This place must be something special, considering that I drive in from Brooklyn for about an hour only to wait just about as much to get a slice of this heaven. To say that the portions are big is not to say anything at all because the portions are huge. Yet, every bite of your meal is delicious. The prices are affordable and you get a lot for your dolor. The service is always welcoming and unbelievably fast. I have been to many top restaurants in the city, yet you cannot compare the portions, the prices, and the service that you get in Cheesecake Factory to any other place. This place is a food chain with top restaurant standards.
Great Food, Great Service... – Totally enjoyed myself, great service, great food, the lines are long though, but it's well worth it and moves at a good pace. You will not be dissapointed. The food portions are huge, so arrive with an empty stomach and please save room for desert.
Avoid the weekends! – The food is good. The cheesecake is good but I have had better and the cheesecake is expensive. The chicken dishes are good. They give you lots of food! You either get the best waiter/waitres or the worse! They have a few with really bad attitudes but thte Managers are very alert and seem to want good service for the customers. The food does come out fast as soon as you order it. After going a few times, you need a break from the crowds and the bathrooms need lots of attention especially when the downstairs area is closed. Not a romantic atmosphere. Sometimes a fast paced cafeteria.
The food'll help you forget everything else – The food here is terrific. The cheesecake, yes, is fabulous, but quite honestly I usually never have room for it after the innovative dishes.
Everything at the Cheesecake Factory is BIG: big, bold tastes, big menu, big cheesecakes, and, yes, big crowds & a big wait for a table. The food however, is delicious, and the appetizers are also worth springing for; everything on your plate will make you forget the expense of waiting for a table.
To beat the long wait, you can: a) sit at the bar downstairs, which is usually open, b) take out your meal...by sitting at the bar, you can ask for everything to go, which they'll happily oblige, or c) have a slice of cheesecake to kill the 35 minutes of waiting, and at least you'll get the slice for which you would normally be too full at the end of the meal.
Come one, come all – The food is always good, large portions, courteous service, decent prices and very nice surroundings. They also great menu selections. And the cheesecake is fantastic. I recommend the White Chocolate Rasberry Truffle or the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake, both are great. I recommend this place highly but be prepared to wait, it's usually crowded.

Anyone else here having a problem with private messages? I went to look up one that had been saved in my inbox, but there are no longer any messages in my inbox.
It says I've got 6 messages stored, but 0 in my inbox. I never created another mailbox to put them in, so where have they gone to? When I click on the mailboxes, all I've got are "inbox" and "sent".
Any ideas? My guess is it's related to the new "home" color scheme around here... Help would be appreciated. Thanks!
